2024 Map of Hunter Peak

About this map

The Bitterroot Mountains define this high-elevation landscape along the border between Idaho and Montana. Much of the terrain is protected within the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, an area characterized by steep drainage systems and prominent summits including Moe Peak and Hunter Peak. The map documents a complex network of alpine hydrology, where Bear Creek and Spruce Creek carve through narrow valleys, and isolated water bodies like Bigfoot Lake and Moe Lake sit in high cirques. The boundary between the Nez-Perce National Forest and the Bitterroot National Forest follows the ridgelines, marking a significant administrative and topographical divide. This area remains largely roadless, with prominent landforms like Elk Ridge, Long Ridge, and Rock Point serving as primary landmarks for navigation through the wilderness.
